Nothing is True and Everything is Possible

'Peter Pomerantsev’s sparkling exploration of the psyche of Putin’s Russia is a gem, disturbing, funny and utterly gripping. His beautifully told stories gathered from a rich cast of characters throw light on post-Soviet culture in all its dark colours where corruption, cults and contradictions thrive. Essential for anyone interested in modern Russia.'
